the Ken Sim camp must be losing
Sean Orr admits he wrote these things, but doesn’t say he no longer believes them. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Why such anger and hate toward women, people of colour and minorities? Is this what we want #Vancouver to become? Pete Fry should reject this kind of vile hate. Voters should keep this in mind when they vote. #vanpoli

every accusation is a confession
Pete Fry has made a political deal with Sean Orr and COPE in his effort to become Mayor of Vancouver. Sean Orr, who is part of this political coalition, has repeatedly shared controversial material online, including material containing racial slurs, opposition to women voting and anti-Muslim content. Does Pete Fry think this is acceptable from someone he has chosen to politically align himself with? Is this the kind of discourse Pete Fry accepts from the people and parties he has chosen to work with? Pete Fry knows who Sean Orr is. He knows who COPE is. And he has made the decision to align with them politically. Vancouverites can look at that decision and decide for themselves what it says about Pete Fry’s judgment. #ABCVancouver #PublicSafety #Affordability

The Free Ride Is Over: Why America Needs to Start Paying Its Way - For decades, the United States has acted like a bad neighbour, mooching off Canada while pretending they do it all alone. As usual we've just been polite. That's our nature for the most part. Lately, that's beginning to erode. From fresh water and clean electricity to MASSIVE trade benefits, America has taken advantage of Canadian generosity for FAR too long. Hardcore Trump supporters and MAGA nationalists love to talk about putting "America First," but they better get it through their heads: ......your FREE ride is over. Canada has spent years doing the U.S. massive favours. We have fueled American factories with OUR oil, kept your lights on with OUR hydropower, and stood by your side in every major global conflict. During 9/11, Canada opened its airspace and homes to stranded American passengers without hesitation. Yet, in return, Washington pins tariffs on our softwood lumber, cheats our dairy farmers, and treats our borders like a one-way street for their economic gain. Canada is putting an end to this exploitation. We are NO longer content with being America’s compliant supplier. If the U.S. wants our vital resources, they are going to have to pay a price WE SET and show some LONG OVERDUE respect. The days of taking Canada for granted are done, bud. Find some other Nation to mooch off of, because it won't be us. #canpoli #cdnpoly #Canada #MAGA #Republicans #trump

this guy is bad at math
Can someone tell me how Carney can have a 94% approval rating when Quebec just voted in a separatist party and Alberta is voting to Separate in a couple of weeks.

cons are not good at governing. the evidence is clear across jurisdictions and over time
No one has a problem with taxes… we all have a problem with how tax dollars are being wasted. If you really think an extra bit of income tax will fix the terrible management issues of the BCNDP I’m a bit shocked at your naivety.

DOUG FORD ⤵️⤵️⤵️
A massive Auditor General report confirmed that 12,000 Ontario government staff used unsecured AI sites, "accidentally" leaking confidential documents, health cards, and driver's licences because the Ford government failed to block data-sharing on 244 unsafe apps.

more law does not address much of anything but make you feel better in the short term it does not address the issues that cause what these cons are afraid of or see as a nuisance.
Social Disorder is THE number one issue in Kelowna Centre this election. Please know ~ The Conservative Party of BC will take the following action: 🔥End street disorder by deploying more police to the hardest-hit neighbourhoods. ♥️Improve access to mental health care by expanding psychiatric services, crisis response and residential treatment. 💜Introduce compassionate intervention so that people whose severe addiction, mental illness or brain injury are taken off the street and into care. 🧡Empower police to enforce the Mental Health Act and amend the Act so officers can connect people with mandatory treatment. 🔥Hire and deploy 250 more police officers by expanding the JIBC Police Academy. 🙏Add 500 RCMP officers and 150 civilian staff over five years to restore policing in rural and regional communities where crime is rampant. 💙Hire 50 new Crown prosecutors, work with Ottawa to fund 20 more trial judges, and add sheriff and court capacity so criminals no longer walk free because of delays. 🖤End the NDP's failed "safe supply" experiment and expand access to naloxone. 🙅‍♀️Stop illegal drug use in hospitals, shelters and publicly funded supportive housing, so residents and staff are protected. 💯Report public safety results openly, tracking repeat offending, bail compliance, court delays, treatment access and long-term recovery.

How is ending prescriptions good for ending crime? Won’t people just patronize the criminal network and make the illegal supply more profitable??
Our plan to restore safety in BC: 1️⃣ More police in hard-hit neighbourhoods 2️⃣ Intervention and care for people in severe crisis 3️⃣ An end to taxpayer-funded "safe" supply that gets diverted 4️⃣ 1,000 new police officers, prosecutors, judges, and support staff And we'll publicly report on the results so you can hold us accountable.

i doubt this graph tells the whole story
The disaster that David Eby has created. Put someone so dumb with no basic finance knowledge in charge and you get runaway debt and a lost generation for many in BC

cons are better at one thing -- trying to hide their fuckups
New working family tax by the BC NDP is set to raise about a billion dollars a year. Just under the amount the BC NDP screwed up in the budget. They can’t even do the simple math, why would anyone trust them with more of your money

the other guys had longer to fuck it up
You had 10 years to fix this, what have you been doing all this time other than taxing people to death, while giving g yourself and MLAs raises

cons do nothing to address poverty, they only try to fix blame on others
Downtown Vancouver didn’t end up like this by accident. It's the result of 9 years of NDP "catch and release", and failed drug experiments. Our Safe Streets for BC plan will restore safety to neighbourhoods across BC, including downtown. Vote Conservative on Oct 24. Join me 👉 VoteMargareta.ca

"locked down 24/7" While she attends MAGA parties at the embassy... Hilarious. Such victims.
House Arrest Countdown - 2 days left of being locked down 24/7 for peacefully protesting lockdowns. We’ll miss feigning shock and horror watching non-Canadians, violent criminals, sexual assaulters, drug dealers, human traffickers, and repeat offenders serving less (or no) time than a couple of western Canadians have for “mischief”. @ChrisBarber1975 @18houseHouse

There you go, the cons bringing Alberta chaos to our healthcare system. Fk these guys
Fellow BCers, yet another warning: Doerkson and his BC Cons are definitely planning to privatise healthcare if they win. BC will be another healthcare nightmare like in Alberta and Ontario. We can do a lot better than now but we can also fall off a cliff.

i do not feel unsafe because I know this fear mongering is a bullshit way to get simple people who cannot consider complex issues for more than five seconds to vote for a useless party that only lines the pockets of rich white folks and corporations
The leader who will make us all feel safe again.

Like Hitler, they cry and scream about so called globalists. no wonder people get nazi vibes from these cons
The Liberal Party’s entire platform currently only consists of three things: 1. Demolishing Canada's economy while prioritizing globalist accolades over domestic success. 2. Calling everyone who demands basic accountability and positive outcomes "divisive, MAGA, or misinformed". 3. Blaming the opposition and Trump for the housing, investment and economic crisis… even though they’ve been in power for 11 years. That's pretty much it.
